3. SURVEY
3.1 Geotechnical Investigations Please be advised that Project Two are giving notice of planned geotechnical investigations within the survey
boundaries previously described.
The geotechnical operations will commence on the 30 July 2016 July and run for approximately 10 weeks. The
exact finish date is dependent on the prevailing weather conditions, vessel downtime and work progress, but the
forecasted completion date as of the publication date of this notice is the end of October 2016.
The geotechnical vessels will be deploying seabed drilling and testing equipment. This will require them to be in DP
and remain stationary for periods of up to 18 hours at a time and will restrict their ability to manoeuvre. It will be
requested that all vessels operating within the area keep a safe distance (1000m) and pass at minimum speed to
reduce vessel wash.
Page 3/6
NOTICE TO MARINERS
Geotechnical operations will be conducted on a 24 hour basis. Throughout survey operations the vessel will be
displaying the shapes and lights prescribed in the International Rules for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea
(COLREGS) Rule 27, to indicate that the survey vessel is restricted in its ability to manoeuvre.
4. SAFETY
Fishermen are asked to avoid the borehole locations by up to 500m to allow navigation and deployment of
geotechnical equipment.
It is requested that anybody having knowledge of any potential objects submerged or moored on the seabed, within
the geotechnical survey area, that could be damaged or form a hazard to the geotechnical survey vessel and its
equipment advises the Projects Fishing Industry Liaison of their position and nature.
It is also requested that passing vessels maintain a safe separation distance of 1000m to reduce vessel wash whilst
the vessel is undertaking operations.
When surveys commence a listening watch will be maintained on VHF Channel 12 and 16 when within the
appropriate port authority area, and will actively transmit an AIS signal. The survey vessels will also broadcast at
regular daily intervals, vessel position, operational information and intentions.
5. IMMEDIATE CONTACTS
